Sidney Sheldon - Mysteries Unlocked

“Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You
have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page.” - Sidney Sheldon

The famous F. Scott Fitzgerald said 'show
me a hero, and l write you a tragedy'. Similar is the storyline of most of the
novels by the renowned author Sidney Sheldon, an academy award holder. His first
book The Naked Face was acclaimed by the New York Times as ''The best first
mystery novel of the year''

A prolific writer Sidney wrote his first piece at the age of ten, a poem for
which he earned $10. He is the author of 18 novels which have sold over 300 million
copies worldwide.

Most of his avid readers are women, on this Sheldon said ''I like to write
about women who are talented and capable but most importantly, retain their
femininity. Women have tremendous power - their femininity, because Men can't
do without it''.

Nor was he born a silver spoon kid,
neither did he enjoy a blissful carefree childhood; he had to work rigorously
day and night. At 17, he decided to try his luck in Hollywood, but the only job
he could find was as a reader of prospective film material, little could anyone
imagine at that time, they had a prospective international bestseller novelist amongst
them

Sheldon's a remarkable example of the saying 'some people die never, because
they live in the hearts of millions forever!! A true inspiration for all who
work every day with a dream to make their dream come true someday
